Football pundit, Richard Keys, has said that Liverpool boss, Arne Slot has finally realised that the Premier League is not as easy as he would have thought
He stated this after watching the Reds beaten by Newcastle United in Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
According to Keys, Liverpool are just an average side who benefitted from a good start to the season and poor challengers.
Newcastle won the cup after beating the Reds 2-1 at the Wembley Stadium on Sunday with goals from
Dan Burn (45′) and Alexander Isak (52′) while Federico Chiesa (90+4′) got one consolation goal for Slot’s side.
The Reds have also crashed out of the UEFA Champions League, falling to Paris Saint-Germain earlier on Tuesday, March 11.
After the Carabao Cup final, Richard Keys wrote on X, “I’ve had no idea all season how good this Liverpool team were. This week told us a lot.
“They’re average. They’re top for 2 reasons – they had a great start & because every other challenger went backwards. Slot has discovered English football isn’t so easy after all.”
Liverpool also suffered elimination from the FA Cup last month, losing 1-0 against Championship side Plymouth Argyle in the Fourth Round.
